1. Simple Network with Ethernet Crossover Cable In addition to physically connecting an Ethernet cable to the imager you have to define an IP Internet Protocol address for the imager This address uniquely identifies the imager on the network Specifying the Imager s IP Address You must specify an IP address for the imager This address uniquely identifies the imager on the network Determining an IP Address Remember that the network connection discussion in this manual covers only simple networks we are assuming that the imager and other devices on this simple network do not have to communicate with devices on other networks If this is true of your network then you only have to make sure that device IP addresses within this network are unique NOTE If devices on this network do have to communicate with devices on other networks itis part of a complex network In addition to specifying the imager s IP address the imagers subnet mask and gateway IP address may have to be specified For more information about configuring the Horizon imager in a complex network refer to the Horizon Imager Technical Manual IP addresses have the format x x x x where x is a value from 0 to 255 Certain IP address series have been reserved for special use by the Internet community One series has been reserved for independent networks like the simple network described previously in this chapter that are self contained and not conn
